Just talked to my welder, he should have my oil pan finished up in the next couple days. I have Wednesday and Thursday off work, so hopefully I can get the motor put in and the car back on the ground.
Also should be ordering some Abercrombie tie rod ends as soon as they're back in stock. And picked up a new power steering rack last night, should put it in tomorrow and get the lines made to work with the KA pump.
Also have BN replica sides and rear bumper if anyone wants to buy them. I ordered them by mistake and there's no way they'll fit with my ride height. I'll trade for GP side skirts and rear if anyone has them.

Been too busy with suspension/steering/aero/cooling stuff. I may throw together a conservative t28 setup next season, depends on whether I'm ready for a 1j or not by then.
And I can't find anyone to buy my BN, so I'm gonna just raise it and run bigger tires.
Ditching the 215/40's for 50 series in the rear and a 205/50 in the front. My collars are all gone in the rear so I'll have to put them back on and raise it about a half inch. Also need a fender pull cause 17x9 +13 with extended balljoints doesn't really work with stock fenders.
Got my DTSS elims installed last night too. It was a bitch without a press but I finally got it after a few hours of hammering and cutting.
Motor SHOULD be going back in tonight. My welder should be fixing the leaks in the pan tonight and I'll spend all night putting everything back together.

Just picked up the ball joints and oil pan from Doug. It's all going on this afternoon and hopefully it'll be back on the ground tonight.
Had to step up to a 215/50 in the rear and raise it about an inch. I need 18"s badly

Just put the engine and transmission back in and dropped it on the ground. Even with raising it an inch and a half the skirts are still on the ground.
***** unreal on 17's.
Tomorrow I'll grab the DSLR and take some real pictures. Also, my Abercrombie tie rod ends are shipping out Monday, that's the last thing I need to drive it!

Don't listen to these guys. Lower back down until skirts touch the ground. they will eventually grind themselves down and tuck 18/19 stagger and turbo the KA so you can spin em. Problem solved.... Lol either way BN is just too big for 17. If you plan on staying that size run GP sides and rear and still.... Lower it back down. After seeing your S30 thread I'm a little upset about you raising the FC. ***** still sweet though! Keep it up.

I literally have half an inch between the bottom of my skirts and the ground, I'm just going to say **** it for now. I plan on running/destroying the kit all this season and going with a completely different setup next season.
Gonna try and run GP next season with either MSport or Sexy Style front bumper, different wheels and much lower. I really want to go back to running the PBM's at max low with all the collars removed, but you can't do that with BN. Either going to find an 18/17 stagger or relip my Enkei Aegis to 17x11 and run them in the rear with some Rezax or something up front.
